You have been subscribed to a public bug: After unmounting my Western Digital portable harddrive, the drive continues to spin for 10 minutes, even if no data was written to the drive, resulting in an awful "unsafe removal" noise when it is unplugged. It seems like the hard drive heads aren't syncing. After posting on the forums, a solution was found with a nautilus script.
